update, i played cyberpunk for 5 hours straight with only 3 breaks and me and my friend group decided on his full name being vinnie. he also got a little hair change :3
Hi-! I'm here to submit my daily barrage of questions.
1.) Why is Cerulean's last name 'Neue' when he and Cobalt were both 'Helvetica's?
When married, is the last name changed to the last name of the wife? But if that were the case, then that'd mean we won't have any 'Helvetica's but instead 'Marigold's.
2.) What did Goudy do that made him call the Institute on Lilith?
Did Goudy even know that Lilith and Rose were related?
If he did know, was he just too desperate and set aside that fact?
3.) Not a question, but i FINALLY found him-!
I FOUND SWIFF!
*does a little happy dance* 🎉〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜🎉
Fell’s face flushed a little darker. “Yer’ tellin’ me. She had me blushing with words alone. I didn’t hear the end of it from Mr. PocketDog down there.”
He nodded to the window where the night shift Generals were on duty, watching over dinner.
His eyes glared at the Purple General, Swapfell.
Said general’s lazy grin and half lidded gaze still predatory. He would dress down any soldier for the slightest mistake. Though Fell never stopped him.
“The slightest mistake can and will cost you dearly.” And honestly, he agreed.
4.) Chapter 4 when there was a twister coming. In Chapter End Notes, you said this.
"AH LAWD HE’s COMIN!"
This term or phrasing seemed a little sus to me 👀.
Is the twister man-made or is it purely natural?

Cerulean’s last name is Neue because his fathers last name was Neue. Cobalt’s last name is Helvetica because his fathers’s last name was Helvetica.
°They do not share the same father. Their mother had two husbands due to a business deal their parents made. Poly relationships are rare, but not unheard of.
°Cobalt and Cerulean are very close and good friends, with Cobalt being the older brother.
°Cobalt was supposed to inherit the pharmaceuticals company, but gave it up so Cerulean didn’t have to struggle.
“I ain’t got the brains for that anyway. You know I’m always the brawn of the operation.”
“Then it’s a good thing you can be considered handsome… if you squint.”
°At 18, Cobalt joins the army and meets a 17 year old weirdo named “Leo.”

Lilith didn’t actually do anything wrong. Goudy lost his marbles when Rose passed and barely kept it together whenever he saw Lilith. In Goudy’s eyes, no well-to-do woman should be getting her hands dirty working on a disgusting farm.

Yeah. I didn’t want to keep writing Swapfell- every time I mentioned him. So his name from now on is Swiff. I pulled it from the stronger sounds from Swapfell and dropping the vowels, leaving you with- “SW-F” or to me, it sounds like the word Swiff.

Nope. This isn’t important. Sometimes I might put important stuff in the notes, but it’s highly rare. I do admit I like to drop really important information in single sentences and breeze past it. (EX: The snook) But in this case it was for comic relief after a high stress situation.
The pie shop Erect Pienis run by @pocketdogs @kangals and I has achieved a 5 star rating 😎 despite lighting the kitchen on fire the very first meal on the very first day somehow we managed to pull through it.
this is gonna be a lot of songs and i don't expect this many in return omg but: boats & birds - gregory and the hawk, american money - børns, red lights - alfie indra, soft shock - yeah yeah yeahs, werewolf heart - dead man's bones, little love - aaron. just a little cocktail of genres
so happy that you rec'd boats & birds because i've heard it before in snippets but never knew what the title was!!! it's so comforting
haha funny story i used to hum electric love by børns way too much in high school and it became an inside joke with a good friend of mine. anyway listening to american money makes me feel like the y/a dystopian novel self insert i've always dreamed of being
both red lights and soft shock would be great in a pining playlist or is that revealing too much abt my personal experiences 😳 werewolf heart isn't rlly my cup of tea but cool concept and little love feels so bittersweet. i'm saving it to revisit, i think it's one of those songs that you have to listen to a few times and sit with to feel it out
you buffoon (affectionate) of course i will give you as many recs back as you have given me:
hurt nobody by oh pep!
sound the alarm by the knocks feat. royal & the serpent and rivers cuomo

The disaster happens in near slow motion. Oz is navigating the burning streets arms above his head to block out the growing flames. One sharp turn down a street later and he notices what seems to be a young boy wandering the city as well-
And as soon as he lays eyes on him, a glitchy beowulf bursts out of a burning storefront sending glass everywhere. It raises a horrible howl to the sky before bounding towards the unsuspecting stranger.
“Watch out!”
His semblance is activated within the next breath as he strains what’s left of his stamina to catch up with the creature, knocking it away harshly in a flash of green light just a few feet from them.
memories haven’t been on his side lately. not so much in forgetting for once, but rather too many were coming in all at once that it was getting way too hard to think. oscar squints as he holds the box in his hands, thumbing his finger over the smooth cardboard surface as he studied the other. flamboyant hair, more accessories than he could count, a bright face that, for some reason, seemed troubled with worry this time...
“ is something wrong? “ he asks before thinking, the panic only sparking seconds after the inquiry. he hides the distress with a cough into his elbow, trying ( and failing ) to look as inconspicuous as possible.
“ you were... looking pretty closely at that, so i was wondering if everything was okay. “ another cough. “ it was looking... kind of weird. “
( @pocketdogged, if you keep blocking this isle i will yell. )
She didn’t want to go too far from ‘home’. Even that definition, though, is dubious -- a ward and building she was thrown into unceremoniously, without any question of her consent. So it’s no surprise that she finds herself wandering, searching for somewhere more suited for her, somewhere that didn’t remind her of all the inadequacies she could never forget.
The cherry blossoms were beautiful, of course, but they didn’t suit her. They suited Misha, someone far more free and bold than she was.
She finds herself wandering through streets of shops, watching the stalls closely -- curiously -- but not quite confident enough to approach yet. As they peter out, though, they give way to a field of neat green grass, spanned with trails and... dogs?
Aurica tilts her head. “What’s wrong with them...?” As she gets closer, it looks like their heads are some kind of screen, but the animals themselves seemed as energetic as usual. It was almost endearing. Though, they were a little fast moving to --
“Agh!!” Catching herself on her hands and knees, she winces, before scrambling back to see what it was she had tripped over. That was... “A-ah!! I was looking at these dogs... I didn’t see you...!” She brushes her dress down, trying to figure out if the boy had been lying there to start with. “I’m sorry... I’m so clumsy...”
You know I never minded Chihuahuas per se, I just never wanted one myself. But between you and pocketdogs, I'm starting to get converted to the tiny dog gang. Thinking about how much easier it would be to care for one of these little guys vs the bigger dogs I grew up with. And if they're bred+trained properly they'd fit the temperament I want of just being able to take them anywhere and have them be chill about it.
Anyway I blame you. I'm seriously considering this once I move into a place with a higher pet limit.
Everyone needs a chihuahua!!! Get a tiny get a tiny get a tiny
